Hmmm.. when I first looked at this problem, I was thinking that maybe
you had ch4 declared as "char" rather than "char *"....

However.. when I took a second look at the error you told us: 

"Assignment makes pointer from integer without a cast"... That
refers to the '=' assignment in the line. 

text_length() returns int.   I'm willing to bet good money that "add_text"
ISN'T of type int... and is in fact.. a pointer.   

Make sure "add_text" is of type int.. or assign the return value of
text_length to something that is.
